Then, on self timer,
my camera decides to fall at exactly 10 seconds and captures this picture of it's descent. ( comments)

I take a Panoramic [9603x2232]
which turns out better than expected. Click on the medium sized image to get the full resolution photo. This image free for non-commercial use with attribution. Construction details here ( comments)

It is fantastically
Lord Of The Rings-ish. (LotRish?) ( comments)

There is a higher Bastille
for the very brave hikers. ( comments)
|
Of which I qualify.

The view of the snow-capped mountains.

The way down..

..has an endless stream
of tunnel and stairs. ( comments)

Including these beautiful stairs

I finally find Mexican food
in Europe! Wait.. Bagels? Hot Dogs? Tapas?!? ( comments)

Agnes studies for her exam
with Mr. Peterson. ( comments)
|
A nearby (tasty) wokbar
had a special deal, guess the languages on the board and get a free meal. I did some research and was only off by one, not bad for an American. The languages: French, English, Spanish, Romanian, Haitian Creole, Indonesian, Hindi, Portugues, German, Arabic, Bulgarian (I guessed Slavic), Korean. ( comments)

CinemaDave is mobile!
We hike up to the Bastille at night and watch The Time Traveller's Wife on the side of a cliff next to a fire. Fantastic! (Again, a fake exposure composite of two images, with and w/out flash) ( comments)

Mr Peterson is content
as long as she's not in transit. ( comments)
|
The first dance
for GLX. ( comments)

And the daytime dance,
back at the Bastille with it's view. ( comments)

How much do you want to shop
in a store that is (almost) the namesake of an STD? ( comments)
